Drawing Graphs

There are many ways that data can be displayed in a graph. For example, column graph, picture graph, line graph, pie graph.

Look at the following data from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Make the following decisions:

1. Select the category of data that you wish to graph. You could choose gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals or the total medals. You might wish to graph more than one category.

2. Decide on the type of graph you are going to present – picture graph, column graph or another type of graph.

3. Choose an appropriate scale, symbol and key. e.g. 4. Give your graph a title. 5. Decide whether you will draw it or use a computer program. 6. Construct your graph either on paper or on computer and print a copy.

Go to the website: Now and Then (maths.org) and complete the activity. https://nrich.maths.org/8171

Interpreting the Mystery Data Graph

This activity requires your detective skills to analyse the information provided in a graph and do some clever problem solving. You need to work out what this graph could be about because some vital information is missing.

To carry out this investigation you need to look at the column graph below which displays some 'Mystery Data'.

By studying the graph you can see that:

• The vertical axis (the left edge of the graph) is marked in centimetres.

• The horizontal axis (the bottom edge of the graph) is labelled 'a' to 'm'.

• There is no title for this graph. At present it is just called "Mystery Data".

What could this graph be about?

_______________________________________

What could be that long? Or tall? _______________________________________

Why are there so many columns? _______________________________________

I think the title of this graph should be ____________________________________

because____________________________________________________________

What scale has been used on the vertical axis?____________________________

What strategies did you use to decide the title? _____________________________

What extra information do you need to interpret the graph correctly? __________________________________________________________________
